Lauren,
My own personal experience - limited though it may be - is that painful breakups require soothing but as soon as I'm on the other side, I do great with self-nuturing and care in the constructive way. My suspicion is that when you get through the rough bit - you are going to blossom into your healthy, "take care of me" space. It's coming. be kind to yourself during the transition.

Besides hot bath and massage, what are some other NON-food ways to be good to yourself when you're stressed & hurting?
